Rating: - Great book full of useful insights
In this book, Fari Hamzei has gotten a dream team of contributors to share some of their expertise with the end result being a well rounded and insightful set of views on markets.

Rating: - 13 diverse essays with even more diverse value/quality
If you compare this book directly with Market Wizards I & II, you will definitely be very disappointed.

Rating: - Distinguished Market Masters of Today
I had time to read this very well compiled book over the holidays. The book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in improving their own trading techniques as well as gaining insight to different methodologies used for successful trading. The Chapter written by well-known Investment Strategist, Jeff DeGraft was very good in pointing out the contrasting strategies used by Technicians versus Fundamentalists. Frank Barbera writes an excellent Chapter on Sector Analysis. I thought his explanation of how his methodology ... Read More
